Endorsements

▼▲

One of the great books of spiritual guidance. It is a lovely, wise, and lucid book of deep humanity. Above all, it is a useful book---a book to be used by those who find it hard to forgive themselves: the stumblers and agnostics who hardly dare believe that God is within them. -Gerald Priestland
